Class Day "A2" at sea

Today is class meeting day "A2."

On the agenda for me is the following:

  • Teach "Mass Media Systems Around the World" (Time:  0800 - 0915)
  • Sit in on the Global Studies core course that the entire ship "shuts down for" daily - it is held in the Student Union area of the ship with the lecture being broadcast on the closed-circuit TV system of the ship to the various satellite classrooms on the ship for those students who can't fit in the Union (Time:  0920 - 1040)
  • Teach "Intercultural Communication" (Time:  1045 - 1200)
  • Surprise birthday party for some faculty/staff/dependents in the Faculty/Staff lounge (Time: 1930)
  • Faculty meeting about the Global Studies core course (Time: 2100)

surprise group birthday party for biology professor Michael, politics professor Simon and photographer Micah in the Faculty/Staff Lounge on the ship

The ship passed through the channel between St. Lucia (to the south) and Martinique (to the north) this morning and currently we are passing Barbados.

We will advance our clocks forward one more hour tonight.
